The Quadroin autonomously executes pre-programmed missions.
High-precision surveying
The Quadroin is equipped with a side-scan sonar and a downward-looking full-HD camera, combined with AI-based object recognition for detailed subsea imaging and detection of assets in side-scan and video feeds. To collect data, the vehicle runs a supervised survey mode along a pre-programmed grid covering the area to be surveyed.
Advanced navigation with live status updates.
Carrying an acoustic modem, the vehicle combines inertial dead-reckoning navigation with intermittent USBL/LBL positioning fixes for periodical GNSS lock from surface gateways. During the mission, trajectory and status updates are available at the operator’s station through a wireless link to the gateway.
Hazard detection and security operations
Identifying dangers such as mines and unexploded ordnance, supporting both civil and military security applications.
Mission Awareness and Control
The vehicle remains connected - both above and beneath the surface, providing operators with comprehensive awareness and control through all stages of the mission. Before the dive, the vehicle’s collapsible multi-antenna receives GNSS fixes and establishes wireless links to the control station.
During the mission, an acoustic connection to a surface gateway - a stationary USBL Buoy, a mobile Sonobot 5 USV or a USBL-equipped vessel - provides GNSS locks with acoustic positioning fixes and relays the vehicle status to shore. Through the acoustic link, operators can adjust waypoints, upload modified mission parameters, interrupt or abort the mission, and initiate automated recovery procedures. After resurfacing, all collected data is available for wireless download and post-mission analysis.
Sonobot 5 USV and Quadroin AUV
Swarm Operation with multiple Quadroins
Cooperative multi-vehicle networks.
The Quadron can be configured to operate as part of joint multi-vehicle missions – coordinated. Quadrons AUVs, Sonobot USVs, and EvoLogics Diver Navigation System units networked with surface gateways into a hybrid robot/diver taskforce. With Quadron’s updates on detected objects, divers can be directed towards the discoveries for on-site assessment, enabling efficient, time-saving inspections.
